4 Melrose UU Church Environmental Justice Film Series presents “Play Again”: 7 p.m. May 20, Melrose Unitarian Universalist Church, 70 W. Emerson St. At a time when children play more behind screens than outside, “Play Again” explores the changing balance between the virtual and natural worlds. This documentary follows six teenagers who, like the “average American child,” spend five to 15 hours a day behind screens. “Play Again” unplugs these teens and takes them on their first wilderness adventure — no electricity, no cell phone coverage, no virtual reality.
